Luz found strength in remembering how old Teuhtli, not wanting to let his daughter go, turned her and the young man she loved into mountains—
Iztaccíhuatl, Sleeping Lady, and Popocatépetl, Smoking Mountain. How the mountains protected the people and brought precious rain.
Luz was a child of the flower-song people. She wanted to protect the Nahua ways.
